Listen Now - Generation Why: The Olympic Park Bombing

July 27th, 1996. Atlanta, Georgia. During a free concert at
Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park, security guard Richard Jewell
spotted an abandoned backpack. Authorities soon discovered that it
contained a live bomb. The bomb detonated minutes later, but
Jewell’s actions saved countless lives. Days later, he became the
main suspect in the bombing. The public would immediately associate
him with the bombing and some would continue to believe he was
responsible even after the actual perpetrator confessed.
